IBM PC360 - 163 POST error date and time incorrect
Applicable to: World-Wide
This Affects Machines Shipped Prior To March31st 1996:
Symptom:
IBM PC 360 6598 systems may exhibit a 163 POST error indicating that the date and time are incorrect. This error will occur if the system date is between October 20-31 or December 30-31 and the Flash BIOS level is 13 or 14.
Problem Isolation Aids:
When the 163 POST error occurs, the system will send the user into the Setup Utility. The system time will be 00:00:00 with seconds incrementing and the date will show as 01/01/1990.
Once in the Setup Utility the user will likely reenter a date which falls in the range listed above. When the system is rebooted the 163 POST error will occur again and lead the user into the Setup Utility to correct the error. This loop will continue until the user enters a date outside of the range listed above.
Fix:
Do not replace parts. This is not a hardware problem.
The user may temporarily work around the problem by entering a system date outside of the range stated above.
Obtain the latest Flash BIOS update to eliminate this problem.
